Thats because Baseball isn't a sport.

And no countries even take baseball seriously, it'd be like cricket being an olympic sport.

ZIIIIIING!

I'm glad there are people out there who hate baseball as much as I do. Well technically I only hate the slow ass pace; everything else is pretty cool.

I'm die-hard Cura ( 'COO'-'ra': arabic for soccer) fan.

Soccer is to slow for me.*
I really enjoy Baseball** and its "slow pace" as an in person spectator sport.  Bring good company and it can be a really fun time.
I might as well weigh in on everything else as well.  Football is a TV Sport for me.  Hockey I can't get into.  Golf is nice scenery and somewhat calming.  Tennis is always interesting.  Rugby makes a great Videogame.  Racing if its just on an oval I can't really get into it;  I need variety.  Though to say in all actuality I'm not really a die-hard fan of any of these.  Really casual actually.

*To clarify on the Soccer its not that the actual game itself is slow.  Quite on the contrary.  Its just the pace between major events is slow, sudden, and infrequent.  I look away for a second to mention something or to get some food and someone makes a goal.  Then I'm back to watching ball management.
** Though I prefer Minor league because it is less mechanical and people make mistakes.

Bump! http://www.jeux-france.com/news21444_gc-table-tennis-sur-wii-en-video.html

Gameplay video from Europa Land! How does it stack up compared to the 360?

Tried this out at Rockstar's booth. The graphics look very similar to the 360 version minus the good textures, hope the bump it up. Control isn't as laggy as the videos made it look, but there is a little bit there. You flick the remote in the direction you want to hit the ball, give it spin, etc. Simple mode you don't have to use the nunchuck, but I guess advanced mode you can. (not 100% clear with what the attendant told me.) Not really my kind of game, but I think the PING PONG fans will like it.
